FROM POVERTY TO POSSIBILITY

ALL THAT KIDS CAN BE

HEALTHY PEOPLE, STRONG COMMUNITIES

A STRATEGY FOR CHANGE

People become homeless for many reasons – leaving an abusive relationship, loss of employment, death of a major income earner, disabilities, disasters, and increased housing costs.

For kids to be productive and succeed, they not only need the essentials – food, shelter and clothing – they need positive role models and opportunitiesfor activities resulting in healthy minds and bodies.

In order for a community to thrive, everyone must take responsibility and work collectively to ensure all members have access to safety, mental and physical health, equal opportunities and education.
